Historical references to La Torretta date back to the 1600’s, and there are visible signs from that era in the surrounding nucleus of ancient buildings and land.
Vineyards were outlined in a map dating back to 1822.
The winery has 85 acres of vineyards , the perfect size for achieving flavor and a selection of varieties, which guarantees superior nonindustrial farming and a final result of unquestionable quality.
The farm offers an extremely varied selection of wines, suitable for every palate: traditional PDO wines, sparkling wines and passito.
La Torretta does not just mean quality wine but also olive oil. It has received recognition as being the first company to re-introduce the cultivation of olives in the valley.
Olive trees were growing back in the 1800’s as demonstrated by the presence of century-old olive trees in the area.
La Torretta is open all year round for visits and tastings. Tastings take place in a suggestive location with view on vineyards and olive trees and are always preceded by a guided tour in the canteen. In winter time a private room is available.
